| Power cable from wall socket to power strip I have found that my sound is best from my superior cables being plugged into my components. I tried my best cable from the wall to distributor, but it did not work well. Currently, my wall to distributor is serviced by an adequate, but unspectacu... | |
| LHY Power Supply for Node and Pontus II Firmware @jasbirnandra The folks from Vinshine mentioned that it would take 100-300 hours to break-in. I was pretty disturbed by the brittle sound - even to the point of considering switching back to the original components. But I am happy now. I think it ... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? This is a very interesting discussion. My goal is to get the best sound quality from my system. Given that I am currently running my streamer with wi-fi, it seems worth considering the cabling options that many say are superior. I haven't had any ... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? Ok, yes, @soix I was wondering about a mesh node or extender. Given that either of those also rely on Wi-Fi it would seem (on the surface) that this wouldn't really accomplish anything. However, I am wondering if a high quality ethernet switch bet... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? Hats off to you for writing this engaging piece! The cable thing continues to dumbfound me. I think that I also hear with my eyes. Nice looking cables just sound better to me...well not all the time, but you get the idea. One thought: Most probab... | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market Hi @richardmathes Your room size is similar to mine with hardwood and openings to other rooms. I have not heard a wide range of speakers, but my research led me to Fritz Speakers. I chose the Fritz Carbon 7 SE Mk II. At $2500, they are on the lo... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? This question takes me back to the days of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Trying to define quality as either subjective or objective. But the answer doesn't completely reside in either, but really both. Albert Einstein said: "Not eve... | |
| Bluesound Node USB Output Connection @marco1 @kw6 Yes, I am using the USB out to an external DAC. The signal seems just fine. It just seems weird that the plug does not insert fully. I upgraded from a freebie USB cable to a ViaBlue cable. Neither cable seated fully, but does not seem... | |
| Bluesound Node USB Output Connection @itball Were you able to insert the metal area completely then, or does some of the metal still show? | |
| Recommended USB Cables under $200 @fuzztone I'm looking into the ViaBlue, but only see European distributors. Do you know of any in the US? | |
| Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component. @carlsbad So, in terms of priority, are you saying power amp first? then what? how would you prioritize? | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @retiredfarmer thanks for your encouragement. I love that you said that it was hard to believe the increase in resolution from addressing the power side of things. I was thinking of simply upgrading my outlets to Hubble commercial, but I may thin... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @yoyoyaya @rbertalotto I can understand that the effect of upgrading power to improve sound has been a point of debate; however, there are some good recommended changes that I can make without spending a bundle (like better outlets). If I have th... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets Thank you, everyone, for your responses today. It has made me really start digging in to a series of improvements that I think can be done. @erik_squires aka "bare wire as God intended" (love that) Thank you for linking your articles, they were ve... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @ditusa I have a Van Alstine Transcendence 10 (tube) preamp, into the Van Astine SET120 control amp, also Rythmik Audio Sub. I’ve been looking at electrical outlet options, and am leaning toward the Maestro at this point, but still researching. ... |
